STAMPING DEVICE FOR CUFF-BLANK HEMFOLDING AND CUTTING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,274, dated December 11, 1888.

Application filed January 30, 1888. Serial No. 262,366. (No model.)

To (all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED B. IDE, of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stamping Devices for Cuff- Blank Hemfolding and Cutting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an attachment to be used upon that class of machines which are employed to hemfold and out into blanklengths strips of fabric used in the manufacture of cuffs; and the object of my improy'ed attachment to this class of machines is to construct them by an attachment to stamp or print on the face of each. of the blanks (or one of a series forming an apparel cuff, while the said blanks are being passed through the machine) the trade-mark or the trade name or number.

Accompanying this specification, to form a part of it, there are two sheets of drawings containing four figures illustrating the application of my invention, with the same designation of parts by letter-reference used in all of them.

In the illustrations, Figure l is a perspective of a cuff-blank hemfolding and cutting machine with my invention applied thereto as an attachment. Fig. 2 shows a central vertical section taken from front to rear. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the type or stamp holder shown as detached from the machine. Fig. 4 is a section taken through the roller, in which the type or stamp holder is placed, said section being taken diametrically through the roller at one side of the recess cut therein to receive the type or stamp holder at right angles to its shaft, with the type-holder, as shown, within the said recess.

The several parts of the apparatus thus illustrated and those containing myinvention are designated by letter-reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letter R designates a roller under which the strip of fabric passes after coming from the hemfolding-plates, which latter are not shown in the drawings, and from which roller R the strip passes, as indicated by the dotted line (1', over the hot roller R and thence under the roller R onto the cutting-plate B,

upon the edge of which it is cut off by the re volving knife K.

The letter P designates the driving-pulley, arranged on the shaft S of the roller R and G a gear-wl eel on said shaft, (indicated by a dotted line, a,) which gear-wheel meshes into another gear-wheel, G on the shaft of the hot roller R and the latter gear-wheel meshes into a gear-wheel, G on the shaft of the roller R, to actuate the latter. The gear-wheel also meshes into a gear-wheel, G and the latter into a gear-wheel, G, on the shaft of the printing-roller 0.. The gear-wheel G also meshes into the gear-wheel G, which actuates the shaft S", on which the revolving cuttingknife is operated.

The letter D indicates the type or stamp holder, and M a recess formed in the roller 0 to receive the former. The type or stamp holder is made with a case, C, in which the type is placed.

L indicates a leaf-spring arranged between the adjacent side of the recess and the case. This holder is made with small journals J at each side, and upon which the case may turn a little toward the side of the recess during the time of making its imprint on the fabric. This case and attached spring are inserted within the recess M, and the rod A is passed in through a hole made in the roller end, and is screwed into the bot-tom of the type-holder, so as to pass into the side of the recess beyond.

The letter I indicates an inking-roller that is placed above the roller 0, and in such aposition that the surface of the type in passing, as the roller 0 turns, will be inked by contact with said ink-roller.

The function of the combined type-case, type, and connected spring, as arranged within the recess M, is that while making the imprint upon the fabric or while being inked by the ink-roller the type are made to face on the ink-roller and then on the fabric, and continue in contact therewith longer than if moving with the same speed as the roller 0, the spring yielding to allow the type to dwell momentarily in contact with the fabric, so as to produce a good imprint.

The operation of the mechanism thus described is as follows: hen a strip of fabric Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. The combination, with the pressing-roller R and the rollers R and R of the roller 0, made with the recess M in the cylindrical face thereof, the type-holder D, constructed with the spring L, arranged in said recess, and the inking-roller I, constructed and arranged to operate substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination, with the roller 0, made with the recess M, of the type-holder D, constructed with the leaf-spring L, and theinkroller 1, arranged with reference to said roller 0, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination, with the roller 0, made with the recess M in its cylindrical face, of the type-holder D, constructed with the leafspring L, journals J, and rod A,theink-ro1ler I, and the hot roller R arranged with reference to said roller 0, substantially as and for the purposes set forth;

,Signed at Troy, New York, this 3d day of December, 1887, and in the presence of the two witnesses Whose names are hereto written.

FRED B. IDE.
